There's a really good article in the July 2006 Dirt Rider mgazine. Too bad that people will buy this stuff before checking what happens if it needs fixing or parts. They're just throw aways, when they break you just get a new one. Far better off to buy a used Japanese machine that you can get parts and repair info for.

 

Beats me why ATV Connections even lets these people advertise these cheap pieces of put it on the trailer the first hour if your lucky to make it that far after some poor kid that just wants to ride and have fun spent his hard earned money on these CRAPPY *** china hunks of CRAP on this website.
These china brands are harley worth the price of scrap! I don't care what the testamonials say.

 

Two very popular "Japanese" ATVs have their parts built in China and are assembled elsewhere, one in Japan and one in Georgia. The parts are manufactured in the same plant that builds the Roketa ATV.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Unless you have 2 months to wait for parts for your bike, take a look at other brands. "X"-Dealer of Roketa, their corporate office is Goldenvale, Inc. out of Ontario, CA. Their web page makes all kinds of claims and statements, don't you believe them. They are interested in selling lotsa bikes and moving on, warranty or service parts are the furtherest from their minds. Make a report to the Federal Trade Commission, if enough of us complain they will have to do something.

 

"Buyer beware" I usually do a little research before I part with my coin, I work too hard to throw it away on junk but, to each their own

 

I'm new to the site, just found it last night, wish i had found it sooner. I recently purchased a roketa brand quad, rtk-250. I also purchased two other bikes, Viva motorsports 150cc gorilla, and a small bodied 110cc for the kids. I'm not sure the brand of the 110 other than it's probably the best of three we own. The engine has a sticker on it that reads "toa toa", I have seen others with this sticker just don't know the brand. Back to the 250, it's always started kinda harsh, lots of starter noise. Then last weekend the "hot" wire from the battery to the starter solenoid melted along with the ground wire that was run alond side of it. The dealer I bought it from said a new harness was at least three weeks away. I replaced the burnt wires myself. After that found that the starter was grounding itself out internally. Took that apart and found what seemed to be the problem. Hope it's Ok now, its still starts kind rough but the wiring hasn't fried. I read somewhere other than here that some Honda parts may fit my bike, as I also read a product description claiming the 250 was a copy of a popular Honda model. Any Idea as how to find out what engine copy I have. Any info would be great, Thanks.

Yeah but those Japanese companies have final say on quality control.... they design the parts and inspect and test the final product....... anything junk does not go on..

The Chinese machines are junk because of their final construction and lack of R&D money, and quality control... and the fact that they are treated as toys and not machines.....they are not as good as the sum of their parts while the Japanese machines are better than the sun of their parts....

I just found this forum, and I wish I would have found it sooner also. I bought a Roketa 110cc last summer in 2007 and when I received it (after many weeks), it was a Predator. They told me it was the same thing. (Hummmmm....)! Anyway, they starter went out on it and I can't find one anywhere. jjpower, you said we could ask you for help and you would try and help me. Do you know where I can find one, or who I can contact? The guy I bought it off of is no longer in business I guess. I bought if off of Xtreme Vision Powersports, LLC out of Florida. I found one starter on Ebay, but it's the wrong one. It looked like it, said it would fit most China made 110cc ATV's, but was not the right one. When I called them, they have no idea what they were talking about. lol Just my luck!!! I don't know a lot about this stuff. My Brother bought one for my Niece, and he talked me into buying one for my Son, huge mistake from what I read. I would so appreciate any help with this. Thanks everyone!
